Today, I'm happy to announce the v2.5.0
release of clue/reactphp-buzz 🎉
Simple, async PSR-7 HTTP client for concurrently processing any number of HTTP requests, built on top of ReactPHP.
As the version number suggests, this is not exactly a new project. In fact, this has been used in production in a larger number of projects for a few years already. So I guess it's about time to write an introductory blog post about this project, why async HTTP requests are such a powerful feature and also a bit about the motivation for this project and why I think @ReactPHP is a perfect fit for sending HTTP requests.
I'm probably not telling you something new when I say the web is built on top of HTTP. This blog post is served over HTTP. Your YouTube videos are served over HTTP. Your downloads are served over HTTP. RESTful backend APIs are served over HTTP. GraphQL APIs are served over HTTP. SOAP APIs are served over HTTP. Yes,
